"Transparency is, in that sense, terror-enabling."
What a load of propagandistic nationalist crap.
The government claims to have a monopoly of violence "for the common good" even if every individual is harmed (!). Then it wants every individual to not know anything about how it is going to do that harm. The only reason people can put up with this if they have religious belief that government is somehow formed of superior super-people, not the same mortals that require babysitting as all voters supposedly are. The logic of government power is broken on so many levels, just like your christian testaments. Yet millions are bullied into believing this crap. (Which leads to all sorts of catastrophes - economic, health, wars etc.)
